Sherlock seems more human in this one, maybe because he wasn‘t fully successful. Sure he solved the puzzle but at a high price. I forgot this one was sad! #Sherlocked

The passage in the photo just screams Sherlock to me.

Richryan52 Holmes admittedly enjoys the dramatic flourishes 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @Richryan52 Yes, he does! 6y

Richryan52 I always give Holmes such a moment in my books 6y

Once again finished in advance. I love me a good riddle and this was one.
I felt sorry for the poor couple. Once again it is proved that Sherlock is not really infallible.

Daisey I read the first two sections last night and I had a hard time not going on! 6y

I had a hard time finding a title for a #soundtrack related to the classics, then stumbled across this one on my shelves. 🙂 #maylovesclassics

I have a little #puzzle for anyone who wants to play. A famously misquoted Conan Doyle line that actually crops up in a conversation about deduction in the Count of Monte Cristo. Can you crack the cypher of the Dancing Men? #quotsynov17

LeahBergen Hmm... is it the one about "eliminating the impossible"? I must ponder... ? 6y

Moray_Reads @LeahBergen if you look up the cypher you should be able to crack it 😉 6y

saresmoore Fun! The dancing men remind me of semaphore. I will solve the puzzle! 6y

saresmoore I‘ve cracked it! All the Es were a good clue. I didn‘t realize that was a misquote! 6y

LeahBergen @saresmoore I've cracked it, too! And started with the Es. 😂 6y

saresmoore @LeahBergen Yesss! Nerd high five! Thanks for sharing this, Moray. 😊 6y

Moray_Reads @saresmoore @LeahBergen I'm impressed, ladies! I'm particularly impressed you didn't just one of several websites that decrypt it for you 😂 It's one of those lines that appears in lots of film versions but never in the stories. But it does appear in a conversation between the Count of Monte Cristo and Albert Morcerf 6y

scripturient I think I cracked it. Was a bit confused by the name in the end but your hint helped. 😊 6y

Moray_Reads @scripturient I know. That was sneaky of me so that people couldn't just guess 😉 6y
